Tierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch is located about 15 miles west of San Marcos, TX on Ranch Road 32 between Austin and San Antonio. The ranch is situated on a winding, scenic ridge known locally as The Devil's Backbone. Tierra Prometida is Spanish for "Promised Land" and the property is a haven for a rich variety of trees and birds.
We have a herd that is entirely huacaya and consists of about 80 alpacas. We own or co-own several world class herdsires:Caligula’s Accoyo Poseidon, Crescent Moon’s Touchet, 4 Peruvian Altiplano Gold, Bellagio of PVA, and Tierra’s Maximus.
Our mission at Tierra Prometida is to develop an exceptional herd of pedigreed alpacas that exhibit elite characteristics in conformation, fiber quality, and temperament. We enjoy showing our alpacas on a nationally competitive level because it is a measuring stick for objectively assessing our breeding program
Tierra Prometida is the oldest and most experienced alpaca ranch originally established in the Texas Hill Country. We have learned to deal with the challenges (e.g. the heat) and the blessings (e.g. the mild winters) of this particular environment and enjoy sharing our experience.
Alpaca ranching has become our family business and pastime. We love working with these sweet, gentle animals. Our four children are growing up learning to love and care for them.
It has been a growing experience for all of us!
